TAMPA, Fla. -- (Nov. 20, 2007) -- Magnetic caps off a year notable for its accomplishments and awards this month by celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a significant business milestone achieved by few other full-service Web development firms in the Tampa Bay region

“When we launched Magnetic in 1997, our intent was to help businesses achieve their objectives through strategic, sensible and innovative use of the Internet,” said Ken Bakunas, CEO, Magnetic. “Over the past decade, that focus on maximizing the Web’s potential for our clients has remained intact, as has our commitment to making a long-term investment in our employees and supporting the region’s growth and economic development.”

Despite coming of age in the midst of the dot-com implosion that marked the end of a majority of its competitors, Magnetic stayed the course and maintained its focus on fostering the corporate culture and internal processes necessary to provide comprehensive, high-quality Web services. A critical component of realizing the firm’s vision was working to establish long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with its clients.

“In the five years we have worked with Magnetic, they have consistently demonstrated a high level of creativity and technical proficiency that keeps us connected with our patrons, increases traffic to our seven restaurants and enhances our revenue stream through the introduction of an e-commerce element to our business,” said Angie Geml, Marketing & Public Relations Manager, Columbia Restaurant. “Equally important is the exceptional level of customer service the firm provides. They are highly responsive to our needs and stay in regular contact to ensure our questions are answered and concerns addressed quickly and respectfully.”

Magnetic’s reputation for providing high-quality Web design and development and outstanding customer service has played a key role in its steady growth over the past decade, including doubling in size in 2006 and again this year. To accommodate its rapid expansion, the firm earlier this year completed build-out of the remaining space in the 6,480-square-foot Tampa Palms building it acquired in 2005 – a stark contrast to the early days when Magnetic was housed in its founder’s one-bedroom apartment.

In addition to making room for an influx of new employees, the expansion means each department now has its own area, fostering a collaborative spirit and enhancing the award-wining work environment that has been critical to Magnetic’s ability to attract and retain high-caliber professionals.

“We are committed not only to meeting the needs of our clients, but also to creating an organizational culture centered on employee empowerment and trust that helps ensure our team is fulfilled both personally and professionally,” said Jennifer Bakunas, President, Magnetic. “Employees are the heart and soul of our firm, and we are dedicated to providing them with the tools and support they need to succeed.”

Placing a high priority on retaining top employees has resulted in an enviably low turn-over within the Magnetic team. It also led to the firm’s second consecutive “Best Places to Work” designation from the Tampa Bay Business Journal, as well as its second Standard of Excellence WebAward from the Web Marketing Association.

Magnetic was also named the 2007 Small Business of the Year in the 21-50 employee category by the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce, and is a finalist for the “Business of the Year” award from the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

The firm’s growing list of accomplishments comes as no surprise to Michael Bahlitzanakis, CEO and co-founder of BP Holdings Group, Inc.

“From the start, it was clear that Magnetic is a firm that possesses the talent, expertise and drive necessary to succeed in a highly competitive industry,” he said. “Regardless of the level of complexity, Magnetic has consistently delivered on its promises of quality and service.”

Added Stan Reents, PharmD, President & CEO of AthleteInMe, LLC and Editor-in-Chief for AthleteInMe.com®: “I chose Magnetic as my development team because they possess a wide variety of skills and they offer several services that meet my needs. In addition to site design and development, they provide hosting services, e-newsletter distribution, and can assist with search-engine optimization, which is so crucial to marketing my web site. For me, Magnetic is an ideal company.”
